Key Questions Answered
1Finity is looking to expand its operations in India to capitalize on the rapid build-up of data centres, hyperscale cloud infrastructure, and artificial intelligence workloads that are driving demand for high-capacity optical networks.
The company is open to manufacturing its networking products locally in India if demand reaches sufficient scale, though no final decision has been made yet on whether to build a factory independently or partner with someone.
1Finity expects its mobile networking business in India to take longer to develop because most telecom operators have already chosen their equipment partners for current 5G deployments, though the company is eyeing future technologies like 5G-Advanced, 6G, and AI-RAN.
